Samuel Chandler (1693-1766) was a British Nonconformist minister and polemicist pamphleteer. He has been called the ‘uncrowned patriarch of Dissent’ in the latter part of George II’s reign. Chandler translated Van Limborch’s History of the Inquisition and he wrote a substantial introduction to Van Limborch’s original four volume Latin preface.
